I graduated from Sichuan Fine Art Institute, China with BFA (1998) and MFA (2002). I became an instructor in this renowned art school before I immigrated to Toronto in 2006.

While I tried to get over the language barrier for the first couple of years in Canada, I got very nostalgic. I immerse myself in my work and I found painting is a great way of forgetting myself. I draw, I paint, and never get bored. Inspired by nature, my paintings evolve as intuitive reaction to my beautiful surrounding, be it landscape, garden or the represents the interplay of memories. I see that beautiful in the nature and I create it within the limits of canvases.

With the great support of my husband, I start to showcase my work at Etsy when my baby was 4 months old in the beginning of the year 2008. The shop name “siiso” is a word that I created from the pronunciation of Chinese word “思索”. It means thinking and exploration.

US based Anthropologie which discovered my work in 2011, and start to feature and sell my paintings both in its website and stores around U.S and Canada. While I am a big fan of Anthropologie stuff, I feel so honoured to be among their artists!

My work has been featured on television and is included in private and corporate collection around the world. Recent exhibitions included solo exhibition in Parts gallery in Toronto and Madelyn Jordon Fine Art gallery in Scarsdale, NY.

In my Etsy shop, you can find affordable giclee prints with excellent quality from my original work.
